If you're referring to the Devourers (mutated Mutalisks - air-to-air only) then, yes, you only get those in Broodwars. The self-destruct creatures are the Scourges. There are plenty of good sites out there, dealing with strategies, units, special abilities.
e.g. this one

I find SC is one of the easier games to eliminate an enemy base in. My personal strategy, as one of the few good Terran players (My ladder scores proved that one year), I use commando raids. Playing against a Protoss player one game, I softened the usual wall of cannon turrets with a nuke. I then proceded to fly in two drop ships, but full of marines, and one Ghost a piece. I then hollowed the enemy base, from within. It's a shame. People always have these huge armies, but they never leave parts of it around to defend the base. The Protoss player was out decimating the zerg threat, I eliminated the entire Protoss production line, and power sources of his primary base. Quite sad to see 14 marines and 2 ghosts do that to a fully developed PRotoss base...

Thank you. I always tried to entertain my fellow SC players with my stories of Terran might.

Why am I strangely reminded of that episode of Red Dwarf where Rimmer regales Lister with tales of his Risk campaigns?

He only has the one, and because I bought it for him for his birthday one year.

He did want it though.

It's the one with Dimension Jump, White Hole and Meltdown on it... all classics.

With a note that your ghosts not detected by the enemy

and those nukes require lotsa manpower IIRC

@Aegis : A sudden strike of Deployed Siege Tanks which was caried with transport is also a devastating strategy if covered correctly with some diversions

Yes, Siege tank siege's can be quite devestating.

And, about the Ghost being spotted, the real trick is to discover which Ghost is the one with the nuke, and which is the decoy... I usually send in four or five ghosts, armed with two or three nukes. I'm dirty in that game...

For some reason, though, players don't like it when I sing "O Canada" during the nuking...

I suggest what we do then gentlemen is (when I get the game, hopefully very soon) that we do a tag-team Gamebanshee competition. I'll play the game a bit more and get used to some of the Terran weaponry and then start playing on-line. The Commonwealth buddies have to stick together so I draw Aegis.

Well, I prefer the Earth Force Directorate, but hey, why not. Also, I'm not sure how effective I'll be while using my mom's dial up connection. But, I'm willing to take on all challengers..

Perhaps it's time "Wraithraven" makes a come back....

What the hell is the EFD?!? I've just played the Terrans, that's as far as I know...
